After a long, tiring journey through the Smoke Ring, the crew of the starship Mule is forced to evacuate to an emergency planet because their ship has been destroyed. After landing on the planet they realize they are not alone and they have been warned that there is a sentient race that dwells in the Smoke Ring who will do anything to keep humans from inhabiting their worlds. Even though this species is more advanced than humanity, it's not too hard for our expedition leader Clark Gregory's team to take care of them with his cybernetic implants.
